Band Biography :
1994, Crazy Dj of “Radio-Katusha” Stas Kunyavsky not being able to hold in his
mad energy got together with a group of spacey soul mates and offered them to
perform straight away on the stage of Ten Club with the impromptu show in the
“Elvis Presley- James Brown-Tom Waits” style. “ I decided to form a
rock-and-roll band, because I needed to do something with my extra energy” -
says Stas. The first half a year of the group being, stylish sound and eccentric
behavior made it one of the most popular, entertaining and unpredictable club
projects. Rock Fuzz magazine named Barbulators the year 1994 discovery and
presented prizes in “Best Male Voice” and “Best Show” nominations The influence
of the 1950s music on the group grew more and more strong. And starting from
1996 Barbulators equip with the contrabass, which adds hurricane slap to the
highly explosive mixture of rockabilly, psycho, surf and ska. He following hits
appear “Night in the Jungle”, “Vampa Twist” and ballads like “Jailbird Song”.
The group takes part in various rockabilly and psycho music collections
recordings. Barbulators perform on the same stage with the leading figures of
psycho and rock as Meteors, Kingdom Come, and Quakes. They visit Kaliningrad,
Moscow, Petrozavodsk, Yaroslavl, Helsinki and other cites with concerts In 2002
in order to refresh the sound Barbulators choose a new trend which can be
characterized as dance-metal and come up with a new program “Alien” with rough
and energetic songs as “I’m An Alien”, “Are You Ready For Love” and lyrical
“Million Of Light Years”. Besides the music new things appeared in the stage
show as well. Famous master of body art Alexander Sergeev and pyrotechnics
specialists worked with the group. At the premiere of the program in the Red
Club it was prohibited to set anything on fire but the performance of the band
threw the bomb into the audience Detailed and careful selection of musicians
gradually gathered present day, thought to be the best members of the
group-permanent leader Stas Kunyavsky, bass guitarist Stas Boytsov, guitarist
Denis Ostashev and drummer Alexander “Gvozd” Tikhomolov. Group members’ music
tastes diversity leads to the symbiosis of various trends in their creativity
from disco and funk to psycho and punk rock. It’s hard to characterize what
Barbulators do in one word. It concerns not only the music but the show as well.
Some 1950s and later hits are interpreted by the group in their own unique
manner, for example “Crazy For My Baby”. The new concept makes an impact on the
further creative search the direction of which is obvious from the new songs
“Need You So Much Baby” and others. One can get an impression that the group has
found its own style, but Barbulators do not stop, they continue to change. Who
knows what is next?
